hello,
As per your due date, you did sex close to your ovulation period and withdrawal method has high failure rate (15 to 27 %).
As your period is 7 days late, you should undergo one home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. Althea pill is not helpful at this stage. Kindly, consult with your local doctor.
